The funeral services Of the late Mrs
 James Wiley, on Sunday afternoon last, were the most sadly impressive of any like event eyer witnessed in Globe. The lady's death caused un- feIgned and widespread regret, and the attendance ofsympathizing friends at the Methodist church was very large, and nearly all of whom subse- quently gathered at the. grave to pay a last tribute of respect to her who in life had occupied so large a place Tn the hearts of the people of Globe. The deceased was a member of the Daugh- ters of Rebekah, a branch of the Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows, and the members of that sisterhood, in Globe, also of Globe Lodge No. 6, I. o. o. F., and Alexander Post, G. A. R., attend ed in body.
 The scene in the church during the ceremony was affecting in the extreme and caused to "ope the sacred source of sympathetic tears" The casket covered with beautiful floral gifts rested Tn front ot the chancel. Rev. D. w. Calfee pald a deserved tribute to the deceased lady, referring to her of character and womanly qualities. Appropriate music was rendered by the choir, composed of Mrs. Villa Brown, Misses Mamie Ken nedy, Flora Wood, Annie Pascoe, Liz zle Kennedy, and Messrs, Jewell, Hitchcock and McNellY. At the grave the rites of the Odd Fellows Order were observed, and the remains deposited in their last resting place. After life's ftfnI fever, she sleeps well"
